| The benefits for using the Data Center are many:
Redundant Network Connectivity
We "eliminate the last mile" by providing you with redundant direct Tier 1 connections within our switch site. This allows you to purchase a space and begin accessing your server instantaneously. This presents you with options to control access speed with a simple call to the technician in our switch site.
Back-up Power
Our system begins with two commercial power sources into the building. In the event of a commercial power loss, power is automatically transferred to our internal generator. NuVox also contracts with external fuel providers to ensure on-call fueling for generators, which can run up to 3 days at a time. In the event of a mechanical failure in the generator, power is transferred to 42,000 pounds of batteries which will supply DC power, and to two Uninterrupted Power Systems (UPS) which will provide AC power for 10½ hours.
Climate (environmental) Control
Kept at a consistent 72°F with 50% humidity, you can be assured that your server will keep running in the condition for which it was built. The Data Center uses top-notch environmental controls as well as static-free floors and a fire suppression system which deploys FM-200 gas to control the spread of fire without damage to the server.
Secured Storage with Limited Access
The Data Center is highly secured and is monitored 24 x 7 x 365. Your server is secured through the use of constant surveillance and a series of alarms, which are reported through the 24-hour Network Operations Center (NOC). In addition to these measures, the Data Center offers secured shelf space in which you, the owner, may possess the only key to your equipment.
